Process Lasso

What is Process Lasso?  (from Bitsum)

Process Lasso is NOT yet another task manager. It is a process priority optimization and system automation utility. Priority optimization, affinity optimization, core optimization, automated rules, automated power schemes, you name it and Process Lasso has it. Process Lasso's most popular feature is the unique process ...  Read more

Overview

Process Lasso is a software program developed by Bitsum. The most common release is 8.9.8.94, with over 20% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named processlasso.exe. The setup package generally installs about 40 files and is usually about 11.73 MB (12,302,117 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 48% of users of Process Lasso come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and United Kingdom.

Great free program to help reduce "freeze" of your computer. It helps you to have more (not complete though) control over what your computer gives priority to.
